Hodgson Design Limited may also use customer information to provide customers with system information or information about new or upgraded products.

We will not otherwise disclose customer personal and account information unless we have reason to believe that disclosing such information is necessary to identify, make contact with or bring legal action against someone who may be causing harm or interfering with the rights or property of Hodgson Design Limited, our customers, or others, or where Hodgson Design Limited has good belief that the law requires such disclosure.

Neither will Hodgson Design Limited, except for reasons stated below, disclose to third parties the contents of any electronic mail or other electronic communications that Hodgson Design Limited stores or transmits for its customers.
